I wonder if there are many original ideas left in sci-fi. More then any other fiction genre, sci-fi authors have used their imaginations as much as possible to explore possible subjects, so perhaps there isn't much new stuff to write about now.Originally posted by Jeroen T Wenting:
Must be something similar. The idea is not so outlandish that several authors can't come up with it independently.

Often sci-fi seems to be about exploring the possible side effects of whatever technology or science is currently new and exciting, so perhaps some cool original sci-fi will need to wait for the next big scientific breakthrough.

Some additional points:
Worm holes in space are automatically time machines (assuming you can control one) since you can alter the age of one end by accelerating it to near light speed, taking it on a journey and then bringing it back, as then one end would (could) come out several years before the other.

Sure, they quite often have a close parallel of a feature of modern society, but also with an exaggerated version of the latest technology thrown in. They probably do this because the technology on its own isn't really enough for an entire story line (something which Clarke often ignored!), so they add a social factor which the audience can connect with. Often Star Trek was a bit like Neighbours in space.Originally posted by Mark Spritzler:
But a number of times too Sci-fi is written to mock the average everyday real life, but in the context of something outlandish that it is satire.

Time travel isn't a relativity problem - it is a problem related to the conservation of mass.
The law of conservation of matter says that matter cannot be created or destroyed, but it can only change form. Going back in time would create matter in a time where it previously did not exist.
This simple law eliminates the entire possibility of time travel.
At least, that's my take.

I miss the old days when I would think up a sinister scheme for world domination and you would show a little emotional support. So just look at this tiny ad:
